As captain, Wilson wielded tremendous power, combining judicial, prosecutorial, and law enforcement powers.
After he announced the result to the passengers, the matter quickly faded away.
Another week has passed.
Banquet hall.
A long journey is always boring, so various dances, banquets, reading salons, and cigar tasting sessions have become one of the few pleasures for passengers.
Aaron sat behind the dining table and admired the dancing of the men and women on the dance floor.
As a necessary subject for entering the upper class, their manners and movements are extremely elegant, paired with gorgeous costumes and melodious music... it is indeed a pleasure to watch.
But that's not the purpose of Aaron's participation in the dance.
He lowered his head and continued to work on the roasted grouse, lamb, and cheese toast on the dinner plate...
The grouse was roasted until it was golden brown and glowing with red, and the aroma was tangy. The lamb was cooked with cumin and other spices without any smell, and the cheese toast was just right.
The figs that accompany the meal are fragrant, and the sweet wine is also very flavorful.
When it comes to dessert, a variety of carrot cakes, black forest cakes, and specialty cakes based on orange slices and blueberries are all refreshing.
After the dinner, Aaron felt that his appetite had been greatly satisfied.
Of course, this little thing is not enough to fill his stomach.
After unlocking the fifth essence and becoming the 'Perfect', Aaron felt like he could chew on an 'angel-level' magical item without blinking an eye.
According to his estimation, if he ate five or six pieces, or at most nine or ten pieces, he would be on the verge of unlocking the sixth essence.
"Good evening, Jack."
A burst of fresh perfume blew into the wind. Helen wore a bright red dance costume and came to Aaron: "Are you going to spend such a beautiful night with delicious food instead of dancing with a beautiful lady?"
"Miss Helen, you make me feel like I'm in the flower garden of my hometown tonight."
Aaron gave a subtle compliment and saw the Kent manservant behind Helen who was always there.
He smiled secretly, feeling that this pair of master and servant was very interesting.
The manservant is an extraordinary person, and he loves the lady very much, and the lady is not ignorant of this...
'Is this Romeo and Juliet? No...the family background is too different, it will always be a tragedy.'
The key point is that Helen seemed to want to use herself to stimulate Kent at first, but as the communication deepened, she gradually became really fascinated by herself...
"But I'm sorry...I don't know much about dancing."
Aaron refused outright.
Helen walked away angrily.
In this era, upper-class men who don't know how to ballroom dance simply don't exist.
Feeling the blunt rejection, she casually accepted the invitation of a man she had coveted for a long time, and jumped onto the dance floor to dance like a butterfly.
"A tough choice, isn't it?"
Aaron finished the last piece of cake, took a glass of rum, walked to Kent and said.
The handsome manservant was looking in the direction of the dance floor, feeling a little sad.
Suddenly, the ball seemed to have pressed a pause button, and countless well-dressed men and women stopped to greet the entrance to the banquet hall.
There, steel tycoon Egger Feller held the hand of a beautiful lady, followed by a pair of children, and walked into the venue.
This means that the other party has completely recovered from the shooting and has re-entered the social stage.
And there is no doubt that as one of the few upper-class tycoons in the kingdom, the other party is like an emperor here!
Egg also saw Aaron, but didn't pay attention.
After all, the 'remuneration' has been paid, and his impression of Aaron is not very good, and it remains at the memory level of being anxious to collect debts just after his friend died...
Of course Aaron didn't care about him even more.
If it wasn't for the purpose of testing the 'Law of Accident', he wouldn't even bother to talk to the other party.
"Well... during the last conversation, I deliberately changed the 100 pounds in the contract to 101 pounds and 3 shillings, but I also got a return... Doesn't this mean that the conditions can be increased or decreased? Just go with the flow.
,can you get more?”
"And if after the 'Law of Accident' is completed, the other party is forced to 'repay'... it probably depends on the rank, right? Ordinary people are different from extraordinary people, and extraordinary people are completely different from hidden existences!"
"The test samples are too few, too few..."
As Aaron thought about it, he looked at Kent and the female bodyguard with breathtaking eyes next to the tycoon with amusement in their eyes.
…
Pulmouth.
"ah!"
Bruce screamed, fell off the bed, and held his head in his hands.
His eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and one eye suddenly turned black!
On his body, there are countless fine white hairs growing out!
This is a sign of loss of control!
"Damn, damn..."
Bruce growled, trying to control the strangeness on his body through meditation.
He kept going back and forth for nearly two hours, and his shirt was soaked with sweat before he finally calmed down.
Bruce stood up expressionlessly and used a broom to clean up the fallen fluff on the ground. His heart was full of bitterness: "The situation... is getting more and more serious."
Ever since he dreamed of the names of 'Mother of Nature' and 'The Spirit of Falsehood', he has been tormented by those raving words.
And he thought of many ways, but none of them worked.
In the end, I had to use my last chance to go to the Faust Auction, hoping to spend all my money to buy something useful.
However, the 'Amulet of Reason' appeared, but it directly exceeded his budget, and in the end he got nothing.
The gibbering became more and more serious, and he would occasionally hear voices he shouldn't hear and see visions he shouldn't see.
Even, in addition to the chaotic and crazy murmurs and the honorable name, the ravings also unexpectedly contain some terrifying mysterious knowledge!
For example... there is actually a mastermind behind the fall of the Creator's Scarlet Sun!
In fact, the mastermind behind the scenes is probably the ‘spirit of falsehood’!
This makes Bruce have to suspect that the 'Mother of Nature' is the witness to the fall of the sun, otherwise it would not be so clear!
But even if he knew it, he would cover his mouth tightly, not daring to reveal any information, let alone verify it in any way.
If this level of secret knowledge is leaked even a little bit, people will die!
It is very possible that someone or a big force silenced him without knowing what happened!
At the same time, his condition became more and more serious.
"There is nothing we can do."
Bruce sighed and made a decision: "If it happens again, I might become a monster directly."
He checked the windows and curtains of the room, locked the door, took out a silver knife, and began to build a spiritual wall.
Immediately, Bruce lit the candles and sprinkled the incense into the fireworks, causing a confusing atmosphere to linger around him.
His spirituality became active, and he chanted in a low spirit world language: "The vain spirit wandering in the unknown..."
